TANDEM RALLY

We participated in the Santana Cycle tandem rally held in the Napa Sonoma wine county. We bought our new Santana tandem in 1984 and are still active riders. After the rally we toured the Redwood Park areas on the way to the Evergreen Tandem Club rally in the Washinton State wine country. We do not have the strength, stamina or courage to keep up with ant of this new generation of riders but we enjoy the social part of the gatherings. We are impressed with today's rider taking the sport to the next level.

NORTH END REUNION

The high light of 2010 travels was are trip to Canada to attend the all class reunion of St. Johns Teck. St Johns was the only high school in the place I grew up "North End" (North of Winnipeg). The event was a four day convention celebrating the history of "North End". In 1985 we got a lot of attention by ridning into town on our loaded tandem. Flying in from around the world was our encore.
